Wallpapers: XKR-S GT vs Viper TA

Brit brawler takes on American muscle in this week’s battle of desktop decoration

The Americans have had the muscle car game pretty tied up for a while now. But that doesn't mean that us plucky Brits can't have a go.

So we handed the Jaguar XKR-S GT a passport and shipped it off to America for an automotive arm-wrestle with the the 631bhp SRT Viper TA.

The plan was to rise with the sun, head out of Los Angeles on the best driving roads, spend a day at the track and race to the pub - through California's winding canyons - to argue about which was best. That was the plan, but as you'll read here, thanks to a trigger-happy officer of the law it didn't quite get off to the dream start.

Even so, that didn't stop snapper Webb Bland taking some rather pretty photos. So if you fancy sprucing up your desktop background with pics from the trip, click the size that takes your fancy, download it, and right click it onto your screen.
